Oh my god! I thought this was BS then I tried it, and it works!!! Not even
kidding right now, i’m so happy. I found some greenish blue battery acid
looking stuff and scrubbed it off, and now it works! It was dropped outside
in a ditch and got water damage because it rained while I lost it, that was
about 2 years ago. So now you know, how long you’ve had the water damage
doesn’t matter!﻿

hello. i have an iphone 5 that i wanted to replace the bettery. when i
lifted the screen it didn’t come in one piece. i mean the glass and screen
came off in one piece while the thin frame underneath didn’t. i saw the
screen was still working at the point in time. then when i was able to lift
the screen frame, i noticed that one of the tiny screws holding the front
camera was really loose so i tighten it up. i proceeded to replace the
battery (i might’ve unplugged the battery before turning the phone off) and
when i put every thing back together, the screen was all black, the phone
doesn’t respond to anything. i call it and it rings but the phone is just
dead. i then plugged it to itunes and it was recognized just fine. any idea
what could the problem be?! :(﻿

phone 5s managed to get wet in a life proof case idk how but it did….i
turned it on yes ik bad decision but it did turn on and it worked or
functioned fine with all features but had water stains. so i let it dry out
and i charged it phone turned hot and wont turn on now. can i replace the
battery or is it a hardware problem because im confused because im hopeful
by just getting it t o turn on was amazing. PLEASE READ RESPOND OR HELP!!!

ps. does anyone know what the vertical gray lines are about because i heard
of ppl talking about that﻿

interesting..my water damage indicator is still white but the salt water
looks like it got to the upper part of the phone damaging my screen
connectors, so basically my backlight to my phone so the display doesn’t
give off light though the colorised pixels
requiring sunlight to be able to see the display, will dripping isopropyl
alcohol on the connectors fix the salt buildup?
SOME ONE ANSWER﻿

The black sticker or Heat Dissipation sticker that you removed and stated
that it does not matter, actually matters. So those that are going to try
this repair, please be careful and do not tear or remove it. They can
always be found on Ebay for a replacement. You might only find ones that
come from over seas but when it does arrive, be sure to place one on the
mother board.﻿
